Seagate Ships 250GB Notebook Drive

5,400rpm, two disk platters, 9.5mm thickness

Strengthening its position in the
growing notebook hard drive market, Seagate has announced it is
currently shipping a 250GB notebook drive that delivers a compelling
combination of capacity, performance and durability for mobile
computing.

The new Momentus 5400.4 hard drive is part of the
world’s most innovative family of notebook drives that includes the
Momentus 5400 FDE.2 hard drive, the industry’s first notebook HDD with
built-in encryption and currently the most powerful security solution
for mobile computing, Momentus 7200.2, a super-speedy 7200-rpm notebook
drive with free-fall protection for extra durability; Momentus 5400
PSD, a hybrid hard drive that combines disc storage with flash memory
to reduce power consumption in half, boost performance and enhance
reliability, and Seagate’s flagship Momentus 5400.3, a 160GB 2.5-inch
drive and the world’s first to use capacity-boosting perpendicular
recording technology.

Independent research firm IDC puts
Seagate’s worldwide share for 2.5-inch notebook PC and PC-related hard
drives for the first three quarters of calendar 2007 at 19%, a share
that elevated Seagate to the number two spot.

In the five
years that Seagate has offered hard drives for notebook PCs, it has
become a contender for the notebook market share crown,
” said John
Rydning, research manager for hard disk drives at IDC. “Seagate’s
product breadth and customer responsiveness have contributed
significantly to the company’s ascent in this market.

As
explosive growth of notebook PCs continues, more users want the power
of desktop computing – high capacity, screaming performance and
rock-hard shock resistance – on-the-go. The new Seagate Momentus
5400.4 hard drives deliver just that, using second-generation
perpendicular magnetic recording (PMR) technology to deliver up to
250GB of capacity and impressive performance on the strength of a high
speed Serial ATA 3.0 Gbit/second interface. Seagate’s newest Momentus
hard drive is also tough as nails, delivering industry-leading
operating and non-operating shock specs of 325 Gs and 900 Gs,
respectively, ideal for systems that are subject to rough handling or
high levels of vibration.

Personal computing is the core of
the digital experience as users continue to use their PCs as the hub
for storing, sharing, syncing and protecting their digital content,

said Michael Wingert, general manager of Seagate’s Personal Compute
business. “Seagate is pleased to be at the forefront in enabling mobile
computing that gives business users and consumers the freedom they need
to bring the digital world to their fingertips
.”

The Momentus
5400.4 hard drive is perfect for mainstream laptops, performance-hungry
gaming systems, workstations and personal external storage. The
2.5-inch, 5400-rpm giant features 250GB of capacity on just two disc
platters and, like the rest of the Momentus series, is lean on power
consumption, allowing notebook users to work longer between battery
charges. And the drive is virtually inaudible thanks to Seagate’s
innovative SoftSonic fluid-dynamic bearing motors and QuietStep ramp
load technology.

The Momentus 5400.4 hard drive is now
shipping in volume to the worldwide distribution channel to meet
demanding mainstream market requirements for capacity, performance and
low power consumption.
